WikiLeaks’ dump on Tuesday of more than 8,700 documents it claims to be from the CIA’s secret hacking program contains a guide for emoticons.
That’s right. Alongside revelations into how the CIA developed malware that could hack smartphone devices as well as cars for assassinations, there is also a “Faces of the Internet” list with a variety of facial expressions made up of letter and punctuation combinations meant to express emotions and actions.
User #71475 compiled the list, including one for pedobear, an Internet meme showing a pedophiliac bear, and another for getting shot in the head.
WikiLeaks revealed at least two commenters reacting to the list.
One comment expressed thanks for the list, calling User #71475 “an amazing human being.” That commenter also requested the addition of Reddit’s “‘implied perverse interpretation’ face,” and an “‘undisapproval’ face [ sic],” whatever either of those are.
Here are some examples, including notes from the user indicating what the emoticons mean:
<blockquote>(/) (°,,°) (/) WOOPwoopwowopwoopwoopwoop!
